For the purpose of illustrating the application of the invention, anordinary outboard motor 12 has been shown in the drawings. This motorcomprises a housing 29 in which the engine proper is disposed. Dependingtherefrom is a substructure 16 including a propeller, not shown. Ahandle Ztl is mounted on the housing and is formed with an opening 3i)therein. Below the housing, clamps 2S are provided by means of which themotor may be secured to the transom of the boat.

The invention consists of a container 1l) of ordinary construction. Inthis container is mounted an insert 1l and on which the motor 12 ismounted. A shroud 13 overlies insert 11 and is connected thereto. Thisshroud encloses and protects the body of the motor and also holds theupper portion of the insert 11 in proper position. A retainer 14 ismounted on the insert 11 and assists in supporting the body 12 of themotor. In addition, a boot 15 engages the substructure t6 of the motorand pro-- tects the propeller thereof.

The container lil is constructed from corrugated board and is scored toform end walls 18 and 19, side walls 21 and 22, and tiaps 2 3 and 24issuing from opposite ends thereof. The aps 23 are folded over andsecured together to form a bottom 25 while the tiaps 24 may be similarlyfolded over and secured together after the motor and other parts arecontained within the container to form a top 26.

The insert 1i is also constructed of corrugated board and is constructedfrom a blank shown in detail in Fig. 6. This blank has a longitudinalscore 27 spaced from the lowermost edge thereof and a number oftransverse scores 31, 32, 33, 34, and 36 which extend from the upperedge 37 Vof the blank and to the score 27. By means of thisconstruction, the blank, when folded yalong the said scores, forms aU-shaped structure having two legs 33 and 39 with a connecting portion41 therebetween. The lowermost marginal portion of the blank outwardlyof the score 27 is formed with notches 42 and 43 at the ends of theblank and terminating at the scores 32. and 35. In addition, the blankis formed with kerfs 44 and 45 lying in continuation of the scores 33and and outwardly of the score 27. By means of this construction,iianges 46, 47 and 4S are formed at the lower edges of the legs 38 and39 and the connecting portion 41. Also, anges 49 and 50 are formed atthe outer edges of the legs 38 and 39 and flaps S2 and 53 Y issuingoutwardly from the anges 49 and Si). The legs 3d and 39 are formed withnotches 54 which receive a crossbar constructed of wood and shown indetail in Fig. 9. Attached to the legs 33 and 39 are posts 56 whichextend from a short distance above the score 27 and to the lower edgesof the notches 54. In addition, rails 57 and 5S are attached to theupper marginal portion of the legs 3S and 39 and extend from withinshort distances of the scores 32, 33, 34 and 35 and up to the lateraledges of the notches 54. The crossbar 55 has notches S1 which straddlethe legs 38 and 39 and the posts 56 and prevent lateral movement of thecentral upper portion of the insert. When the blank is properly folded,the same occupies the position shown. in Figs. 2, 3 and 4 and in whichthe flanges 46 and 4S are folded outwardly and rest upon the bottom 25.rl`hese ilanges, in such position, engage the side walls 21 and 22 ofthe container. The legs 33 and 39 are of such length that 3 theconnecting portion 41 engages the end wall 19 of the container and theflanges S and 49 engage the end wall 18. The height of the insert 11 isless than the height of the container so that the motor 12, when mountedtherein and clamped to the crossbar 55, approximately occupies theposition shown in Fig. l.

The shroud 13 is constructed from corrugated board and is provided withtransverse scores 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 `and 66 which extend from the upperedge 67 thereof and to the lower edge 68 thereof. In the outer lowercorners of the blank from which the shroud is constructed are formednotches 69 and in the intermediate portion of the blank are formed kerfs71. By means of this construction, the blank is divided into sectionswhich, when folded, form a transverse member 72 and longitudinal members73 and 74. Issuing from the longitudinal members are flanges 75. Whenthe blank is folded, as shown in Fig. 2, the longitudinal members becomedivided into sections 76 and 77 which are bent slightly relative to oneanother. The sections 76 lie along the side walls 21 and 22 of thecontainer 1t) while the sections 77 converge toward each other. The aps75 are glued together to form an end 78 for the shroud. It will be notedthat the end 78 and the transverse member 72 fall short of the end walls18 and 19 of the container. Kerfs 71 are so positioned as to receive thelegs 38 and 39 of the insert 11 .and to straddle the rails 57 thereof.Attached to the sections 76 of the longitudinal members 73 and 74 of theshroud 13 are struts 79 which may be constructed of corrugated board orwood and are disposed adjacent the scores. These struts lie above theends of the crossbar 55 and in the plane of the posts 56. The length ofthe crossbar 55 is such that the ends of the same are engaged by thesestruts `and are cushioned thereby.

The boot of the invention is constructed from a blank of corrugatedboard best shown in Fig. l0. This blank is elongated in form havingupper and lower edges 81 and 82. Extending across the blank are a numberof scores S3, 84, 85, 86, 87 and 8S which extend from the edge 81 to theedge 82. This construction divides the blank into sections which form4an end wall 90, side walls 91 and 92, and a number of aps 93, 94, 95and 96. In these flaps are formed notches 97 of the shape shown in Fig.l0. The blank is folded up as illustrated in Fig. 5 and the flaps 93, 94and 95 are interleave-d and secured together to form an end wall 99.When so disposed the notches 97 form a composite opening 93 whichreceives the substructure 16 of the motor 12. The lower edge 32 of theboot 15 rests upon the bottom 25 of the container 10.

The retainer 14 is constructed from a number ol' blanks, one of which isshown in detail in Fig. 8. This blank is elongated in form having anupper edge 101 and a lower edge 102. In the marginal portionof the blankat the edge 101 thereof are formed notches 103 while in the marginalportion of the edge 102 are formed kerfs 104 and 105. When a number ofthese sections are secured together in overlying position the notches163 and the kerfs thereof register with one another. When the retaineris assembled the kerfs 104 receive the upper marginal portions of thelegs 38 and 39 of the insert 11 and straddle rails 57 thereof. At thesame time the kerfs 165 receive and straddle the aps 52 and 53 of saidinsert. The notches 103 form a tongue lil-6 which is adapted to enterinto the opening 30 in the handle of the motor 12, the said handle beingreceived in the notches 103. Y

The manner of using the invention is as follows: The container 1t) isrst erected and the flanges 23, forming the bottom thereof, foldedinwardly and secured together by gluing, stitching, or otherwise. Theinsert 11 is next folded up and inserted into the container with theilanges 46 and d'7 folded outwardly and with the flange i7 folded.l

inwardly. At the same time, the anges 49 and 50 are CII . tight on thecrossbar.

2,843,258 f A Y Y' brought into coplanar relation with the flaps 52 and53 extending outwardly therefrom and in juxtaposition as shown in Fig.2. Crossbar 55 is next inserted in notches 54. rl`he boot 15 is nextassembled to take the form shown in Fig. 5 and is then placed upon thebottom 25 of the container 10 in the position shown in Fig. l. Theretainer 14 is then applied to the insert 11 in the manner shown inFigs. l and 2 with the legs 38 and 39 received in the kerfs 104 and theflaps 52 and 53 received in the kerf 165. The motor 12 is now insertedVinto the container from the open upper end of the same with thesubstructure 16 entering the interior of the boot 15 through the upperopen end thereof. As the motor descends the propeller and other portionsof the substructure are received in and protected by said boot. At thesame time, the clamps 28 of the motor receive the crossbar 55 and thetongue 106 of the retainer 14 enters the opening 24 in the handle 20.The clamps 28 are then screwed The shroud 13 is next assembled in theform shown in Fig. 2 with the flaps 75 overlying and secured together.The struts 7 9 now abut against the ends of the crossbar 55, thesections 76 of the longitudinal members 73 and 74 engage the side walls21 and 22 of the container'and the notches 71 receive the upper mar`ginal portions of the legs 38 and 39. When the parts are so disposed,the retainer 14 is situ-ated within the notches 69 of the shroud andheld in position by the lower edges of the flanges 75 of said shroud.When the shroud is in positiomthe housing 23 of the motor is disposedwithin the contines of the members of the shroud and protected thereby.The flanges 26 of the container' 19 may now be folded over and securedtogether to form the top 24 of the container and which completelyencoses the outboard motor.

The advantages of the invention are manifest. All the parts of the motorare held from movement in all directions so that the motor is preventedfrom engaging the walls of the container and becoming injured. Thecrossbar is supported on wooden posts attached to the insert and isfurther held from upward movement at its ends by means of the struts onthe shroud. The wooden rails attached to the insert prevent longitudinalmovement of the crossbar and correspondingly the motor. The bootengaging the substructure of the motor protects the propeller and iinand prevents injury thereto. The retainer entering the opening in thehandle prevents rotation of the motor and also swinging of the same in afore and aft direction. In this manner the motor is held from movementby engagement at all of the extreme portions thereof. By making theposts 56 and the rails 5'7 and 58 fall short of the scores 27, 32, 33,34 and 35, the material of the legs of the insert cushion the motor bycollapsing the legs at such localities and prevents injury to the motor.
